     hi hadjigeo 

    If so, just adjust the formula to create a measure instead of column

    lastest rate = MAXX(TOPN(1,FILTER('Dim daily rates','Dim daily rates'[bpc_name]=MAX('Table'[bpc_name])),'Dim daily rates'[bpc_ExchangeDate],DESC),[bpc_ExchangeRate])

hi  hadjigeo 

For your case, you could try this way as below:

Step1:

Add a bpc_name in your basic fact table, you could add it in edit queries or use this simple dax

Column = 'Table'[Currency]&"-EUR"

Step2:

Add a lastest rate column in fact data table as below:

lastest rate = MAXX(TOPN(1,FILTER('Dim daily rates','Dim daily rates'[bpc_name]='Table'[bpc_name]),'Dim daily rates'[bpc_ExchangeDate],DESC),[bpc_ExchangeRate])

 

Now you could use this rates column in calculated column or measure to get your requriement.

 

here is sample pbix file, please try it.

 

Regards,

Lin

      whatif exchange rates table is missing dates. Should i fix the exchange rate table to fill up the missing dates or use measure to calculate the value in USD currency with reference to native currency and transaction dates.
